Update: SpaceShip One Made It Into Space…Briefly: Flew at Mach 3 to an altitude of 62.5 miles, before falling back toward Earth and gliding to the Mojave desert landing strip. Very cool. But also worth noting that the speed needed to reach orbit is, get this, Mach 25. So there is quite a way to go before we’re talking Space Family Robinson…



Is it just me, or does this think look like it belongs in a comic book…?
